JUSTICE LEAGUE Concept Art Shows Off Batman's Flying Fox Jet
Thanks to EW, we have a new piece of concept art to share with you from Justice League. The art features Batman's jet, which is called the Flying Fox. The aerial vehicle was built to transport the Justice League around the world while and also a variety of vehicles like the Batmobile. As you can see, Batman is joined by the rest of the team in the art. When talking about the jet, production designer Patrick Tatopoulos said:
“You can put three Batmobiles in the lower part of it. I didn’t want to do a sleek airplane; it needed to feel like an extremely avant-garde classic. With the maneuverability of a jet—but it can actually carry things.
“The bottom part of the jet is a huge cargo bay, which the Batmobile sits in. The second floor is like a cultural center, with computer terminals. The third story is the cockpit. Whatever floor you are on, you can see [the other] two stories.”
That's cool! That thing is huge! It will be fun to actually see it in some real action. Ben Affleck goes on to talk about his character a bit, saying:
“The Batman is typically kind of a loner. I guess you’d call him kind of inward, you know?”
That's kind of an understatement. He's not really telling fans anything we don't already know. But he is going to attempt to be a team playing in Justice League. He goes on to talk about the team saying:
“He brings them to the Batcave and lets them in on the central conflict of the story, who the enemy is. There’s a little bit of a Magnificent Seven aspect to it.”
I really like the tone of the Justice League film and I'm looking forward to seeing how the movie turns out, especially with Joss Whedon taking over the directing duties for Zack Snyder.
Justice League also stars Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta, Billy Crudup as Henry Allen, Amber Heard as Mera, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, with J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon, and Amy Adams as Lois Lane.
Fueled by the hero’s restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Justice League sees Bruce Wayne enlist the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Justice League will open in theaters on November 10, 2017.
